The municipality of Viedma has initiated efforts to promote religious tourism by highlighting the legacy of Saint Artémides Zatti, the first saint of Patagonia. Officials developed a 1.5-kilometer religious circuit designed to showcase the city’s spiritual heritage through sites such as the Cathedral, the Historical Block, and the sanctuary housing Zatti’s relics.

Following these promotional efforts, religious commemorations have been established in Viedma. This circuit honors the Salesian influence on the region’s health and culture by connecting key historical and religious landmarks.
